Up Next at Awst Press

April has been a busy month for us with AWP, a whole lot of sharing of great work, and a whole lot more books shipping out. Thanks so much for supporting our authors. We are proud of the quality of work they've been sharing, but are especially pleased to be working with such great people. 

We are also happy with the response to our Awst Collections. We've recently opened up for international shipments and bookstores. 

Tomorrow, we will continue with RE Katz's Feature by posting her interview. She shares some great words on Twitter, mental health, music, and marginalized groups. In conjunction with that interview, we will be announcing something new for Awst Press. We're a little jazzed about it actually. It'll be the perfect ending to your workweek, we promise!

Late next week, we will start Gene Kwak's Feature. If you haven't heard of him before, you're going to want to catch up quick. This guy can write a story with some heft.

Finally, we are going to be at the New South Festival of Literary Arts & Cartooning. Check out the exhibitor list that just came out and plan on attending on June 6th. It is free to the public and dogs are welcome. We'll have lots of Awst Collections available from our first two series, along with other cool things. Hope to see you there!

Introducing RE Katz

We are very excited to introduce RE Katz, the first author from Mike Young's series. We've got several pieces ready to post over the next two weeks. Included below is her bio and a link to her new work.

If you like what you read, go here to purchase her new work in print or digital form, and/or let your friends know how they can read her too.
